Description
The Claustre de Sant Domingo in Inca is a historic Dominican cloister that now serves as the town's cultural centre.
History & Architecture
The former Dominican monastery was founded in 1604. The cloister as it stands today dates from 1730 and is built around a rectangular courtyard. Over the centuries the complex has served a variety of purposes — including a spell as a bullring in the 19th century. Since 1994 the Claustre has been listed as a protected heritage site.
Cultural Centre & Events Venue
Today the building houses the municipal library, a conference room, an exhibition hall, and local council offices. The cloister is a versatile events venue: concerts, fairs, exhibitions, markets, and book launches all take place here on a regular basis. The acoustics are exceptionally good, and the interplay of light on the columns and walls is particularly striking at evening events. The Claustre's cultural programme is varied and rich in both historical and cultural interest.
Courtyard & Atmosphere
The heart of the complex is its central courtyard: on clear days, morning light floods the patio completely. The well-kept, tidy surroundings create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Entry to the cloister is free of charge.
Getting There
The Claustre de Sant Domingo is located on Avinguda de les Germanies in Inca, directly alongside the church of Sant Domingo.
